This is the most amazing place to stay in Maui! The view from the balcony is stunning and the sunset view is perfect! Our kids loved the easy access to the perfect swimming beach and pool. It was wonderful to have a kitchen and easy access to laundry. This property was everything we could have wanted and more!

Fantastic views, clean space and all we needed. Plenty of kitchen items to do whatever you needed. Loved the location. A little dated, but not an issue for us and you really don’t spend time inside because of all the awesome views! Loved that you could get chairs for free and the general store was excellent.

509 Mana Kai was an absolute dream come true. The location is exceptional and exactly what we were looking for: close to resorts but a homey feel. It was our first time on Maui and I pray it won’t be our last and I wouldn’t hesitate to rent the same place. I can’t say enough good things about this unit and the experience as a whole. Our hosts were very responsive and the room was immaculate loved every minute of our vacation with our teens. Thank you, Shannan and Mana Kai!

What an amazing experience. Great location, great beach right at your fingertips. Super clean, comfortable and full of amenities. If and when we ever come back to Maui we would stay here without even looking anywhere else. Recommended A+++.

This condo is absolute perfection! The location could not have been better. We had several activities planned and nothing was more than a 40 minute drive. The condo was very clean and as described. I was pleasantly surprised at how gracious the host was with stocking the condo with shampoos, trash bags and even laundry detergent. There were beach towels and even beach chairs with an umbrella. It was such a peaceful and tranquil spot. You will not regret staying here!

The restaurant/bar onsite is closed and likely not opening for the next two years due to permits-we were told. And unfortunately, we had an upsetting encounter with the woman who sits at the activities desk -TWICE. We wound up leaving our reservation one day early because who wants to be around bad vibes on vacation. The experience was really disappointing.

Wonderful location, high up and overlooking the beach and a view of Molokini Crater in the distance. The unit is very clean and updated decor, very nice for a family stay. Our teenagers had their own separate setup, bathroom, tv, etc. The lanai was ideal for eating breakfast and lunch, kitchen allowed us to prepare meals, with drinks, coffee. And the reps from CB were very responsive when we had questions, highly recommend Unit 705 overall. I can’t imagine a more perfect setting than this one, with the views, pool, beach and ocean.

Great ocean view and convenient access to one of these best beaches on this side of Maui. This Condo/Hotel is also situated on the same strip of many of the luxury resorts, providing plenty of options for dining and recreation.

we have stayed at the Mana Kai several times over the past 10 years . In our other rental experiences ( all the same floor plan) — there is one separate room with a bathroom . The separate room has always had a water view — this one has a bit of a view and a wall — not what we expected . we have always had some sort of wall divider / screen that separated the king bed from the living room/kitchen for privacy . Our grown children & their partners use the king bed and the pull out couch with no privacy . This was really frustrating. the manager was SUPER understanding and helpful . He tried to find up a portable screen to separate the bed and make it a TWo bedroom . this unit is a one bedroom ( private ) with a king bed and a couch bed in the living area / kitchen . This is ok if you need no privacy . we were disappointed. the view is beautiful. we were not told there would be construction . As a matter of fact , I called and they said there would be No construction that week . We had jjackhammers during the day 2 floors below our room and they were LOUD. we will stay at the Mana Kai after the new restaurant is complete and there is no construction and only rent a room with a divider . Again , the manager was wonderful as was the view .

This location can’t be beat. We swam at the beach every day. The condo has every thing you need and is well stocked. We liked the store in the lobby and the view!!! It is older and showing some wear. It is not fancy but it meets all your needs,

The condo was exactly as described in listing. The view is just perfect and so relaxing, and it’s oceanfront! Our family eats breakfast at the lanai every morning as we look and admire the beautiful Keawakapu Beach. The condo has everything we needed, from beach chairs, beach umbrella, kitchen utensils, seasonings, etc. There were a few constructions and maintenance (pool) going on while we were there but Keiko and the property manager was very responsive to inquiries and concerns. We will definitely come back to this unit.

The condo is beautiful and so is the entire property! My family had a great time and the owner was very responsive to any questions we had. The view can’t be beat!

This condo is in the absolute perfect location for kids of all ages. Great waves for boogie boarding without having to worry about their safety, and fantastic snorkeling right in front of the condo. We drove to different beaches when we wanted some big waves. If you dive, we went to the marine preserve and saw tons of fish and also to the old pier in Lahina and kids got to see some sharks and swim with sea turtles. Condo could use a deep cleaning but we spent most time outside anyway. Owner was super quick to respond to questions.

This is the place to stay on Maui. The most beautiful beach extends from your doorstep. The apartment is cozy and comfortable, kitchen well stocked with everything we needed to cook - we made several yummy dinners - and it was easy to go into the town of Kihei for groceries, dinners out, shopping, etc. We enjoyed heading a little south past the resorts to Big Beach where it was less windy in the afternoons. Great snorkeling right out front. Everything was easy and comfortable. Highly recommend.

The view from this unit is amazing! Property manager was very timely and great at communication. The beach was perfect for our little ones. I loved the amenities at the location and would definitely stay here again.

This was probably our best vacation ever. The location was everything. We were able to sit back and relax daily on the lanai and watch the ocean all day. We could hear the gentle waves all night. We were able to take the elevator down and walk right out to a beautiful beach and pool. We were able to swim easily at the beach and there was a reef right next to it for snorkeling. I never felt the need to go to any other beach. We saw many fish and sea turtles while snorkeling. I also rented a kayak from the property which was awesome. We were there on the 4th of July and had prime viewing of fireworks launched from a boat and many locals came out and did the smaller fireworks on the beach. It was super fun! The condo was clean and well-appointed with comfy beds. The three TVs were a bonus for my family.

Our stay at Mana Kai was perfect. Myself, my wife, our 2 children and my mother and father in law all stayed. I was a little worried that the consensus be to small for all of us but it was not. We never felt like we were in close quarters due to the separate suites. The view and location was beautiful and perfect. The amenities like to onsite grocery store, beach rental for boogie boards, grill and pool were perfect. Everything was well stocked and just as described. The pull out sleeper bed was pretty comfortable for a pull out couch. My wife and kids have never been to Maui and my wife was reluctant due to the 9 hour plane ride to go. After staying here she reports she never wants to go anywhere else for future vacations. I can not recommend this condo and property more highly. It really was the perfect spot for the perfect vacation. We will be back.

Wonderful 5 night stay at Mana Kai. Suite size room was perfect for our family of five and our corner unit provided 360 degree views. Easy and quick access to the ocean, beach and pool. Easily accessible to great restaurants in Kihei or Wailea. Hope we can come back in the future, highlyrecommended!

The unit was as advertised. Fantastic view. Great access. I would stay again. The only thing if you need anything the management company BRX Rentals Inc, will not call you back. We had a question about check in and another call about the unit. Left two Messages but never heard back

This is my family's third time staying here and its as great as always! Perfect location, gorgeous views and being able to sleep to the sounds of the ocean are amazing. The condo is well taken care of and is still the same as three years ago. Communication and support from the owner is great and check in / check out is super easy. Will not hesitate to stay here again!!! 10 out of 10!

This unit is an absolute DREAM! From the moment you walk through the doors, you see a sweeping view of the ocean and beach below! The decor is clean, tidy, and up to date. The bathrooms are spacious and there is a ton of closet space and storage. Each room has a TV (not that we ever used it!). The unit offers the use of their boogie boards, snorkel equipment, beach toys, beach towels, yoga mats, and Tommy Bahama chairs and umbrellas. There are plenty of clean towels, so we never needed to do laundry. The air conditioning works great, and the condo was a perfect temperature in the summer heat. The property manager that we communicated with went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and made every effort to ensure our stay was perfect. The view from the balcony is unlike any other (and we have stayed in other units at this resort). The resort offers an on-site general store, excursion center, equipment rental, gym, and pool. There is even a yoga studio downstairs! The entire staff is friendly and accommodating. We will never stay anywhere else in Kihei, and this unit is at the top of our priority rental list!!

This condo in the Mana Kai Resort in Kihei, Maui is simply amazing. First, the location is great. Far enough away from the elevators so no foot traffic, quiet, and with unobstructed ocean views. You can see both the sunrise and the sunset over the ocean from this condo. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could need to make a meal. The fridge is huge. I ended up eating breakfast and lunch in the condo and going out for dinner. There was some local Maui coffee and other goodies to get me started. The condo is beautifully decorated in coastal and island decor with lovely, local artwork. The bed was super comfy with more than enough pillows. Everything has been totally updated. The bathroom is gorgeous and there is tons of storage space. My favorite part was the balcony. Sitting outside at all hours watching and listening to the ocean was good for the soul. The building has a well-equipped workout room, a little free library in the basement, washers and dryers on every floor, security at night, an assigned parking space, a pool, and a rental facility for snorkeling gear and beach chairs. You can also use the building lounge chairs on the lawn area. There is a reservation guide on the first level who can book tours for you as well. The owner was very helpful in terms of recommendations and suggestions on restaurants. Fabulous stay - highly recommend - can't wait to go back!

We loved our stay here. The condo location was perfect. Relaxed, beautiful beach with great green space overlooking the beach under the palms if you wanted to be outside but not in the sand. Condo had everything we needed for a family of 5 adults/teens. Small store on the first floor was very convenient! The restaurant was closed for renovation during our stay, so can’t comment on that. This particular unit had a great view of the ocean and was very clean! Included beach towels & plenty of beach chairs to use during stay. Reserved parking spot in the lot was nice. Very convenient to shopping & restaurants in Wailea & Kihei, but in a less busy area. I definitely recommend staying here.
